Tribal Enrollment #? -Florence Prescott

Pamela Ross Jan 4, 2018 3:11 PM

Trying to locate Tribal Enrollment # for Florence Prescott, my son's Paternal Great Grandmother-born 1915. She is listed on an Index Card with Bureau of Indian Affairs but I cannot find her enrollment #. Her parents were Celia (nee Campbell) and Dave Prescott. In reality we need the enrollment # of any of these individuals as my son is needing a Certificate of Indian Blood--which requires him to provide ancestor's Tribal enrollment #.

Celia was Sissteon Sioux

Dave was Sioux (not Sisseton)

Florence had several children with a man named William Ross--including Bernard Alfred Ross. Bernard fathered Richard William Ross. Richard is the father of my son Jacob Ezra Ross.

any help would be appreciated.

Dear Ms. Ross,
We suggest that you check “The Indian Census Rolls, 1885-1940” on NARA’s web pages at https://www.archives.gov/research/census/native-americans/1885-1940.html for this information you seek. The Rolls include information that many agents or superintendents submitted to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Information can include name, gender, age, birth date, agency, marital status, tribe, and family relation. These rolls are indexed and available online at Ancestry.com and Fold3.com. Prior to digitization, these records were only available via National Archives Microfilm Publication M595. Please use the online Microfilm Catalog to learn which NARA units have copies of this microfilm publication.
Additional information may be located on NARA’s web pages at https://www.archives.gov/research/native-americans/research-individual-more.html
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
